Marilyn Monroe Conspiracy Theory

Marilyn Monroe was an icon: an image that innumerous young women have aspired to become, idolize in more ways than one, and inspire many more people in the entire world to reach for fame and fortune—even if these seekers come from unfortunate backgrounds with no ties to anything more. She was found in a factory during World War II. Her real name was Norma Jeane, and she originally was a brunette. A photographer discovered her while taking pictures in a plant that produced miniature remote-control planes that acted as tools for practice for anti-aircraft. Marilyn, or Norma Jeane—at the age of nineteen—was putting the propellers on these planes when David Conover came to the place of Monroe’s employment by the request of President Ronald Reagan.

This paper will review and discuss various aspects about Marilyn Monroe and her death, as well as conspiracy theories about her death, written by J.I. Baker, K.C. Baker, and Elizabeth McNeil; Caitlin Flanagan; Kristi Good; Griselda Pollock; Georganne Scheiner; and Maurice Zolotow.

J.I. Baker began his journalism career as a reporter covering New York City clubs at Time Out New York, the weekly magazine he helped launch. K.C.

Before her show, instead of sitting with the commanding officers as was the custom of all persons of fame visiting the base, she “’table-hopped’ to spend time with the men.” Then, during her show, when she noticed that Jack was attempting to get pictures of her, she posed to provide him shots that would prove to impress family for generations to come. This story, handed down from generation to generation, proves her root from somewhere humble. There is no bias presented in the author’s writing, as far as this researcher can determine. The writing is clearly organized, first discussing the goings-on of this event, quickly followed by Good’s evaluation of the event.
